NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1.
Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (we, us, our or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended February 27, 2016. We use the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of quarterly operating results are reflected herein and are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the three-month period ended May 28, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In connection with preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended May 28, 2016, we evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing. In June 2016, we entered into an additional New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) transaction related to our announced investment in plant and equipment to introduce oversize production capability within our Architectural Glass segment, whereby we received $5.2 million of cash in exchange for substantially all the benefits derived from the tax credits. This transaction will be reflected in our second quarter financial statements.

2.
New Accounting Standards

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. We have early adopted this standard in the current period, and prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which provides for comprehensive changes to lease accounting. The new standard requires that a lessee recognize a lease obligation liability and a right to use asset for virtually all leases of property, plant and equipment, subsequently amortized over the lease term. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with a modified retrospective transition. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. Under the new standard, an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, Apogee's fiscal 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. 

3.
Share-Based Compensation
Total share-based compensation expense included in the results of operations was $1.4 million and $1.0 million for the three-month periods ended May 28, 2016 and May 30, 2015, respectively.

Stock Options and SARs
There were no options or SARs issued in the first three months of either fiscal 2017 or 2016. The following table summarizes the award transactions for the three months ended May 28, 2016:

Cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $0.1 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended May 28, 2016 and May 30, 2015, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of securities exercised (the amount by which the stock price on the date of exercise exceeded the stock price of the award on the date of grant) was $0.3 million during the three months ended May 28, 2016 and $5.7 million during the prior-year period.

We are invested in a mutual fund holding short-term government securities as a means of investing excess cash while preserving liquidity.

We have a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, Prism Assurance, Ltd. (Prism), which holds municipal bonds. Prism insures a portion of our general liability, workers’ compensation and automobile liability risks using reinsurance agreements to meet statutory requirements. The reinsurance carrier requires Prism to maintain fixed-maturity investments, which are generally high-quality municipal bonds, for the purpose of providing collateral for Prism’s obligations under the reinsurance agreement.

As of May 28, 2016, marketable securities with a fair value of $1.4 million have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months with unrealized losses of $0.1 million.

We test for other-than-temporary losses on a quarterly basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We consider the unrealized losses indicated above to be temporary in nature. We intend to hold our investments until the full principal amount can be recovered, and we have the ability to do so based on other sources of liquidity.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of municipal bonds at May 28, 2016, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities, as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalty.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities); Level 2 (observable market inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data). We do not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.

Debt

Debt at May 28, 2016 consisted of $20.4 million of industrial revenue bonds and $1.9 million on the Canadian revolving credit facility. The industrial revenue bonds mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2043. The fair value of the industrial revenue bonds approximates carrying value at May 28, 2016, due to the variable interest rates on these instruments. The bonds would be classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy described in Note 7.

We maintain a $125.0 million committed revolving credit facility that expires in December 2019. No borrowings were outstanding under the facility as of May 28, 2016 or February 27, 2016. At May 28, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as provided below:

We also maintain a $4.0 million Canadian dollar revolving demand facility available to our Canadian operation. Borrowings under the facility are made available at the sole discretion of the lender and are payable on demand, with interest at rates specified in the credit agreement. Outstanding balances under this demand facility are classified as long-term debt, as they can be refinanced through our committed revolving credit facility. No borrowings were outstanding under this facility as of February 27, 2016.

Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions, Canada, Brazil and other international jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2013, or U.S. state and local income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2009. The Company is not currently under U.S. federal examination for years subsequent to fiscal year 2012, and there is very limited audit activity of the Company’s income tax returns in U.S. state jurisdictions or international jurisdictions.

The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $5.0 million at both May 28, 2016 and February 27, 2016. Penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense. The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits is expected to decrease by approximately $0.6 million during the next 12 months due to lapsing of statutes.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Operating lease commitments. As of May 28, 2016, the Company was obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for buildings and equipment. Certain leases provide for increased rental payments based upon increases in real estate taxes or operating costs. Future minimum rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases are:

Bond commitments. In the ordinary course of business, predominantly in our Architectural Services segment, we are required to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to our customers for any non-performance by us. At May 28, 2016, $120.6 million of our backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $317.2 million. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as we are released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. We have never been required to make any payments related to these performance bonds with respect to any of our current portfolio of businesses.

Warranties. We accrue for warranty and claim costs as a percentage of sales based on historical trends and for specific sales credits as they become known and estimable. Actual warranty and claim costs are deducted from the accrual when paid. Factors that could have an impact on the warranty accrual in any given period include the following: changes in manufacturing quality, shifts in product mix and any significant changes in sales volume. A warranty rollforward is provided below:

Letters of credit. At May 28, 2016, we had ongoing letters of credit related to construction contracts and certain industrial revenue bonds. The total value of letters of credit under which we were obligated as of May 28, 2016 was approximately $23.5 million, all of which have been issued under the credit facility. Our total availability under our $125.0 million credit facility is reduced by borrowings under the facility and also by letters of credit issued under the facility.

Purchase obligations. We have purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures that totaled $203.2 million as of May 28, 2016.

Litigation. We are a party to various legal proceedings incidental to our normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply and services industry, our construction supply and services businesses are routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. We are also subject to litigation arising out of employment practices, workers compensation, general liability and automobile claims. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements
This discussion contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “should” and similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forecasts and projections in this document are “forward-looking statements,” and are based on management’s current expectations or beliefs of the Company’s near-term results, based on current information available pertaining to the Company, including the risk factors noted under Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 27, 2016. From time to time, we may also provide oral and written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public such as press releases, presentations to securities analysts or investors, or other communications by the Company. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report and in any public statements we make could be materially different from actual results.

Accordingly, we wish to caution investors that any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company are subject to uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. These uncertainties and other risk factors include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties set forth under Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 27, 2016.

We wish to caution investors that other factors might in the future prove to be important in affecting the Company’s results of operations. New factors emerge from time to time; it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview
We are a world leader in certain technologies involving the design and development of value-added glass solutions for enclosing commercial buildings and framing art. Our four reporting segments are: Architectural Glass, Architectural Services, Architectural Framing Systems and Large-Scale Optical (LSO).
The Architectural Glass segment fabricates coated, high-performance glass used in customized window and wall systems comprising the outside skin of commercial, institutional and high-end multi-family residential buildings.
The Architectural Services segment designs, engineers, fabricates and installs the walls of glass, windows and other curtainwall products making up the outside skin of commercial and institutional buildings.
The Architectural Framing Systems segment designs, engineers, fabricates and finishes the aluminum frames used in customized aluminum and glass window, curtainwall, storefront and entrance systems comprising the outside skin and entrances of commercial, institutional and high-end multi-family residential buildings. We have aggregated four operating segments into this reporting segment based on their similar products, customers, distribution methods, production processes and economic characteristics.
The LSO segment manufactures value-added glass and acrylic products for the custom picture framing and fine art markets.

The following selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended February 27, 2016 and the consolidated financial statements, including the notes to consolidated financial statements, included therein.

Highlights of First Quarter Fiscal 2016 Compared to First Quarter Fiscal 2015

Net sales
Consolidated net sales increased 3.3 percent, or $7.9 million, for the first quarter ended May 28, 2016, compared to the prior-year period. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased 4.1 percent over the same period last year. Sales growth was driven by the Architectural Framing Systems segment, due to increased volume, and the Architectural Services segment, due to year-on-year timing of project activity and volume growth. This was partially offset by volume declines in the Architectural Glass segment.

Constant currency revenue excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency on our international operations and is considered a non-GAAP measure. Constant currency percentages are calculated by converting prior-period local currency results using the average monthly exchange rate and comparing the converted amount to current period reported results. We believe constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our core operating results, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. We also refer to constant currency measures elsewhere in this report. Non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Gross profit
Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 26.0 percent for the quarter ended May 28, 2016, from 23.2 percent in the prior year mainly due to the impact of strong operational performance and leveraging volume growth in our Architectural Framing Systems segment and strong operational performance in our Architectural Glass and Architectural Services segments.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses
SG&A expenses for the first quarter increased $0.8 million to $38.2 million, but decreased as a percentage of net sales to 15.4 percent compared to 15.6 percent in the prior year. The increase in SG&A expense is due to increases in wages and incentive compensation on improved results.
Income tax expense
Our effective tax rate in the first quarter was 33.4 percent, compared to 33.9 percent in the same period last year, as a result of timing of certain tax credits.

First quarter Architectural Glass net sales of $93.4 million decreased 7.7 percent over prior-year net sales, or 6.4 percent in constant currency, due to lower volume of domestic sales, based on timing of project activity, as well as declines in volume of export and Brazilian sales. These declines were partially offset by improvements in domestic pricing and mix.
Operating income grew to $9.5 million in the first quarter, with an operating margin of 10.2 percent. The improvement in profitability over the prior year operating margin of 8.2 percent was driven by improved pricing, mix and operational performance in the U.S., partially offset by weaker performance in our Brazilian glass fabrication business due to the challenging local economic conditions.

LSO net sales of $20.0 million for the first quarter declined slightly from the prior year period, and operating margin declined from 24.1 percent in the prior-year period to 23.2 percent in the current period. The decreases in sales and operating margin were both driven by unfavorable mix of value-added products. Operating margin was also impacted by investments to support expansion in adjacent markets.

Backlog
Backlog represents the dollar amount of revenues we expect to recognize in the near-term from firm contracts or orders. We use backlog as one of the metrics to evaluate near-term sales trends in our business. Backlog is not a term defined under GAAP and is not a measure of contract profitability. Backlog should not be used as the sole indicator of our future revenue and earnings. We include a project within our backlog at the time a signed contract or a firm purchase order is received, generally as a result of a competitive bidding process. Backlog by reporting segment was:

We have seen, and expect to continue to see, an increased portion of our revenues from shorter lead-time work that we book and ship within the same period. These book-and-ship sales are not included in our backlog within the period. We expect approximately $364 million, or 71 percent, of our May 28, 2016 backlog to be recognized during the remainder of fiscal 2017 and approximately $146 million, or 29 percent, to be recognized thereafter.

Operating activities. Cash used in operating activities was $0.9 million for the first three months of fiscal 2017, decreasing $21.7 million over the prior year due to increased investment in working capital, partially offset by improved operating results.

Non-cash working capital (current assets, excluding cash and short-term available for sale securities, less current liabilities, excluding current portion of long-term debt) was $94.2 million at May 28, 2016. This compares to $68.8 million at February 27, 2016 and $98.3 million at May 30, 2015. The increase from year-end is due to our investment in working capital and seasonal first-quarter payments, including annual incentive compensation payments.

Investing Activities. In the first three months of fiscal 2017, net cash used by investing activities was $20.3 million, compared to $43.7 million in the same period last year. Current year spending was mainly in the form of capital expenditures, while in the prior year we had net purchases of short-term marketable securities of $34.1 million.

We expect fiscal 2017 capital expenditures of approximately $60 million to increase our product capabilities, in particular to fabricate oversized glass in our Architectural Glass segment. We also expect to make capital expenditures to continue to increase our manufacturing productivity and capacity.

We continue to review our portfolio of businesses and their assets in comparison to our internal strategic and performance objectives. As part of this review, we may acquire other businesses, pursue geographic expansion, take actions to manage capacity, further invest in, fully divest and/or sell parts of our current businesses.

Financing Activities. We paid dividends totaling $3.6 million ($0.125 per share) in the first quarter. We maintain a $125.0 million committed revolving credit facility as described in Note 9.

The Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program. We did not repurchase any shares under the program during the first three months of fiscal 2017 or fiscal 2016. We have repurchased a total of 3,057,632 shares, at a total cost of $61.5 million, since the inception of this program. We have remaining authority to repurchase 1,192,368 shares under this program, which has no expiration date.

Other Financing Activities. The following summarizes our significant contractual obligations that impact our liquidity as of May 28, 2016:

From time to time, we acquire the use of certain assets through operating leases, such as warehouses, vehicles, forklifts, office equipment, hardware, software and some manufacturing equipment. Many of these operating leases have termination penalties. However, because the assets are used in the conduct of our business operations, it is unlikely that any significant portion of these operating leases would be terminated prior to the normal expiration of their lease terms. Therefore, we consider the risk related to termination penalties to be minimal.

Purchase obligations in the table above relate to raw material commitments and capital expenditures.

We expect to make contributions of $1.0 million to our defined-benefit pension plans in fiscal 2017, which will equal or exceed our minimum funding requirements.

As of May 28, 2016, we had reserves of $5.0 million and $1.5 million for unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities, respectively. We expect approximately $0.6 million of the unrecognized tax benefits to lapse during the next 12 months. We are unable to reasonably estimate in which future periods the remaining unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities will ultimately be settled.

At May 28, 2016, we had ongoing letters of credit related to industrial revenue bonds and construction contracts that reduce availability of funds under our committed credit facility. The letters of credit by expiration period are:

In addition to the above standby letters of credit, we are required, in the ordinary course of business, to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to our customers for any non-performance by us. At May 28, 2016, $120.6 million of our backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $317.2 million. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as we are released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. We have never been required to make any payments related to these performance bonds with respect to any of our current portfolio of businesses.

At May 28, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term securities of $67.5 million, and $101.5 million available under our committed revolving credit facility. We believe that our sources of liquidity will continue to be adequate to fund our working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures and dividend payments for the next 12 months.

Outlook
The following statements are based on our current expectations for full-year fiscal 2017 results. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.
Revenue growth of approximately 10 percent over fiscal 2016.
Gross margin greater than 26 percent and operating margin of at least 11 percent.
Earnings per share of $2.70 to $2.85.
Capital expenditures of approximately $60 million.

Controls and Procedures
a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
b)
Changes in internal controls: There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended May 28, 2016, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings

The Company has been a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply and services industry, the Company’s construction supply and services businesses are routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company is also subject to litigation arising out of employment practices, workers compensation, general liability and automobile claims. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors

There have been no material changes or additions to our risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 27, 2016.
